If you’ve missed this ultimate easy smoked salmon platter recipe for any reason—here’s a chance to catch up! It’s one of my favorite ways to throw breakfast/brunch/lunch for a crowd in minutes with a really rustic homey feel.

  • Perfect to serve this for a light dinner!
  • Better than anything you buys at a bistro!

MAKE BAGEL BREAKFAST SANDWICH 

I start with this homemade garlic lemon herb cream cheese, which I highly recommend, even though store-bought herb cream cheese would work just as well as a bagel spread.

Now on to the sweet mustard dill sauce—this sweet sauce works like magic with smoked salmon!

It’s the perfect sweetness, tang and dill-y accent. It only takes 3 minutes to whip up and keeps in the fridge for weeks! If you’ve got extra, use them on your summer salads—it’s just a yummy dressing!

My favorite type of bagel is pumpernickel and that’s what I use here. My bagel fillings are cucumbers, red onions, arugula, sliced apples, and thinly sliced avocados.

These toppings are a perfect contrast of sweet, salty, crunchy, fresh, tangy and silky smooth.

Paired with a sweet, healthy toasted Pumpernickel – simply divine! Next time you’re rushed to serve brunch/lunch for a crowd, pull up some of these easy breakfast bagels and you’ll never go back to the coffee shop version!

BREAKFAST BAGEL TIPS

  • I just narrowed the bagel fillings down to my favorites. Feel free to add plenty of your favorites too and make this bagel unique every time.
  • Obviously, the fillings work on any regular sandwich, especially when choosing dark rye or pumpernickel.
  • Turn this into a Platter as a fun way to brunch like I did here : Smoked Salmon Platter 
  • Use your favorite herbed cream cheese or even plain.
  • Don’t skip the Dill Sauce — you won’t believe the value it adds! Also make plenty of it and use it endlessly. 
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Make ahead of time for up to 1 day and keep it in the fridge. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
